On Tuesday, Sept. 6 the same suspect allegedly attempted to lure another Palomar College student into his van during school hours. The woman did not feel comfortable and did not request a ride-hailing service.

During the evening on Wednesday, Sept. 7, the same suspect gave a woman a ride through the Lyft service. Vague is accused of sexually battering the 19-year-old rider and another 19-year-old female who was waiting for her.

“When he got out of the vehicle, he asked the victims if they wanted to take pictures with him. And while he’s posing and taking pictures with the victims, he’s touching them in inappropriate locations on their bodies,” Murphy said.

"We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for any type of violent behavior, abuse or harassment," LaManna said in a written statement.

"Drivers on the Lyft platform undergo a thorough criminal background check across local, state and federal databases, that go back in time to the maximum extent allowable by California law," LaManna said.
